What's the point of ignore lists?

[lech]

Maybe u never got a load of personal messages full of bile....

Maybe I did. I guess we'll never know unless one of us posts them to settle it one way or the other.

You first.

Isn't Boris doing a great job?

And i'm off his ignore list!

Well, I won't be losing any sleep, it's late in Singapore! I'll rest assured that you'll be off again soon, especially if you get your teeth stuck into a Boris thread!

Night night Spinners!

No - he's a c***. Does that make me Spindrift? Or perhaps Spartacus?

He's also got a lousy sense of road safety - I saw him pootle across a red light with a mobile clamped to his ear this afternoon on my way home. Still, at least he had a helmet on.



(Spot the diversionary tactic)

After years of opposition, the day has finally come....

My name is Smeggers and yes, I now have an Ignore List.

Am I now dirty or have I just grown up?

I am wondering who, does it make you feel morally superior?

Hooray! Come on then, Smeggers - name names! Who has driven you to this? If you don't reply very quickly I shall start worrying that I'm on it .

I must admit that just out of nosiness I would like to be able to click on profiles and find out who is on ignore lists or the same function could be performed on one's own profile by a list of people who are ignoring one. It could be very amusing.

This thread has a phoenix-like quality. This is its third shot at the big time. I just had a look at the poll results (yes I know, but I have papers for a board meeting to read). Those in favour of abolishing the ignore list include: bonj; yenrod; andyfromotley; the artist formerly known as LLB; zimzum; and "comedy"pilot. Fancy that!

Watch it, Unkers! What makes you think they can see yours?

The joke was actually aimed at your list of worthies who might have got you on their ignore list. Or was it the other way round? I dunno, I feeling confused, had better go off for a coffee....

my ignore list has stretched to 17 names. There are people on it I've never heard of.

To tell you the truth, I am not completely sure how the ignore list works, or even where it resides. Although, I think the idea of ignoring (and I assume that means you do not see their posts, or posts in quoted replies, nor receive messages from them) somebody just because you don't like what they say is immature, and contrary to the idea of a forum.

There are plenty of unpleasant individuals in the world, but ignoring them often means not falling for bait as opposed to avoidance. Politically, that would be disastrous . The only reason I would suspect that the ignore list would be useful, would be if one was being persistently harassed through personal messages (or stalked on message boards) however, I would imagine that this would lead to the said individual being banned.
